Chapter 238

The Cui family is the first aristocratic family, and rules are the most important. The younger members of the family must be careful about the morning and dusk.

But Cui Hengyue has stayed in Yunxuan Temple for fifteen years. There has never been such a rule, and she does not want to abide by this rule. Therefore, she appears in front of the Liu family every morning at the right time. Without saying hello or saluting, she goes directly to Fuhaiyuan to pay tribute to Cui Hengyue.

Greetings, old lady.

Ms. Liu was still frightened by her previous atrocities and did not dare to confront her, so she had to lead everyone to follow her.

At the entrance of Fuhai Courtyard, people from the first and second rooms met unexpectedly.

"Sister-in-law, you came really early today." Mrs. Cui Er said with a smile while waving her fan.

Mrs. Cui smiled slightly: "Both each other."

While the two were chatting, Cui Erniang pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, the eldest sister is here."

Everyone looked over at once.

"Interesting!" The smile on Mrs. Cui Er's face deepened.

Sanfang came to Fuhaiyuan to pay his respects, but Cui Hengyue was walking at the front. Mrs. Liu, who was always arrogant, followed Cui Hengyue with a sluggish expression, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

It's really interesting.

Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Hengyue silently, with a smile on her eyebrows.

As they came closer, everyone greeted each other and then entered Fuhaiyuan one by one.

People from the fifth room hurried over and exchanged greetings with each other again.

"Come in, everyone."

Mrs. Cui sat upright and accepted everyone's salutes and greetings.

In the past, Mrs. Cui was impatient to see so many people and would ask them to leave after greeting them.

Today, Mrs. Cui slowly glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. This year, in addition to holding a feast in the palace, your Majesty also ordered people to prepare for the Lantern Festival.

"Thanks to the emperor's favor, Cui can go to the palace to spend the festival with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, but Cui has many descendants and cannot all go.

"Let's do this. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the children in the mansion who are thirteen years old and above will come to the palace with me."

Hearing this, many people in the room showed excited expressions, while the younger children, besides being envious, only felt disappointed.

Mrs. Cui continued: "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Lu, you bring your respective daughters-in-law and come into the palace with me when the time comes. The others will stay in the mansion."

Mrs. Xie is Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Lu is Mrs. Cui.

After Mrs. Cui announced the candidates for the palace, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui Wu, Mrs. Tian, ​​immediately changed their expressions, but they did not dare to show their expressions in front of Mrs. Cui, and they returned to their original state in just a moment.

Cui Hengyue counted in his mind, and there were actually about twenty people attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Jingguo Palace.

As expected, he is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit.

Mrs. Cui then ordered Mrs. Cui: "Mrs. Xie, Yuan Niang has just returned home, and it is too late to make clothes for the feast.

"According to Yuanniang's size, send someone to Xianyi Pavilion to buy a ready-made dress, and then go to Qianbaozhai to pick out a set of jewelry for Yuanniang. Don't lose the face of our Duke of Jingguo."

Mrs. Cui stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Cui: "Okay, everyone, please step aside."

Everyone stood up, bowed and left.

When they got outside, Mrs. Cui stopped Cui Hengyue: "Yuan Niang, come with me."

Cui Hengyue guessed that Madam Cui had asked her to go to the big room to take measurements, so she went.

Cui Siniang snorted coldly: "What is there to be proud of? No matter how beautiful the ready-made clothes in Xianyi Pavilion are, they are not as good as the clothes made by the embroiderers in our mansion."

Cui Sanniang, who was next to her, heard her words and couldn't help but said: "Qianbaozhai's jewelry is the best jewelry in the capital. Grandma said that we can't let our Duke of Jingguo lose face. This set of jewelry will definitely not be too bad."

"..."

Cui Siniang choked and glared at Cui Sanniang hatefully: "So what? I have the jewelry gifted by the Queen Mother."

When the Queen Mother was mentioned, Cui Sanniang became very angry.

Both are nieces of the Queen Mother, Cui Siniang's mother has a humble status, but she is different. Her mother, Mrs. Cui Er, comes from the Lu family of the aristocratic family, and is also the biological sister of the Princess Regent.

Logically speaking, the Queen Mother should love her more, but I don't know what tricks Cui Siniang used to coax the Queen Mother to take a new look at her, and from time to time she would reward the third room with good things.

Cui Sanniang was very reluctant, but when she touched Cui Siniang's round face, she suddenly felt relieved.

Raising her hand to stroke the hair on her forehead, a smile bloomed on Cui Sanniang's beautiful face, just like the white lotus slowly blooming on the snow-capped mountains, her beauty was unparalleled.

She lightly opened her red lips and said in a soft voice: "It doesn't matter how beautiful the jewelry is? If your face is ugly, the beautiful jewelry will also become ugly."

"You..." Cui Siniang was so angry that her face turned livid and she was speechless.

She hated it most when people talked about her face, especially when these words came out of Cui Sanniang's mouth. She felt angry and felt a deep sense of inferiority in her heart.

Cui Sanniang was born very beautiful and was the most beautiful woman in the Cui family.

"Siniang, don't argue here, let's go back." Mrs. Liu was afraid that her daughter and Cui Sanniang would get into trouble outside Fuhai Courtyard, so she immediately dragged her daughter away from the place of dispute.

Seeing this, Cui Sanniang looked at Cui Siniang's back and let out a proud "hum".

"Okay, Sanniang, come back with me."

After Mrs. Cui Er finished speaking to her daughter, she lowered her head and looked at her son Cui Liulang: "Have you finished your homework yesterday? Don't let Balang steal your limelight in the future."

Cui Liulang nodded obediently: "It's done. Don't worry, grandma, I was just unwell that day. Now that I'm in good health, Hachiro can't even think of surpassing me."

...

There are no concubines or concubines in the second room, and the backyard is peaceful and peaceful.

Mrs. Cui Er has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Cui Erlang, is already married. The younger son, Cui Liulang, is fourteen years old and is studying in Fuzhong Hall and has not gone to the academy.

My daughter Cui Sanniang is thirteen years old this year. She is beautiful and slightly inferior to Princess Huayu, the most beautiful woman in Jinyang.

After Mrs. Cui Er returned to her courtyard, she had breakfast with her children and daughter-in-law, and then sent Cui Liulang to school.

Then, Mrs. Cui Er ordered the people around her: "Go and get the clothes and jewelry that Er Niang and the Second Young Madam used to attend the palace banquet."

Then he said to Mrs. Cui Ershao and Cui Sanniang: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days. You two will try on your clothes today. If you don't do something well, you can change it."

The clothes that the second room wore for the palace banquet were made by the embroiderer of the second room. Mrs. Cui Er also brought the embroiderer from the Lu family. She had served in the palace and was very skilled.

When Cui Sanniang put on a gorgeous dress and jewelry, there was a sudden intake of breath in the room.

"It's so beautiful." Mrs. Cui couldn't help but praise: "Sanniang, you must be the most dazzling little lady at the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Cui Sanniang lowered her head shyly and said coquettishly: "Auntie, you are just teasing me."

Mrs. Cui Ershao said with a smile: "Three sisters are indeed beautiful, even I can't help but blush when I look at her."

These words made Cui Sanniang feel sweet in her heart, and the smile on her lips deepened.

Mrs. Cui Er walked around her daughter-in-law and looked up and down: "The dress fits her very well, no need to change it."

After saying that, he went to check his daughter's dress again: "Yes, it fits well. No need to change it."

So Mrs. Cui Ershao and Cui Sanniang changed back to their original clothes and jewelry, and chatted with Mrs. Cui Er.

Mrs. Cui Er suddenly said seriously: "I heard from your father that the Queen Mother was very angry about Cui Hengyue snatching Yuanniang's identity.
